Publishing Principles

MIRATOR publishes articles and book reviews according to the same principles as the traditional scholarly journals. The Editorial Board asks two anonymous referees to read and comment the received article manuscript within 30 - 90 days. The identity of the writer is not revealed to the referees and vice versa. After having received the referees´ comments the Editorial Board contacts the writer in order to discuss the potential revisions in his or her essay.

Depending on the volume of submissions, Mirator publishes one to two issues per year, one in early autumn, one possibly in the beginning of the year.

When the approved, edited and proofread texts have been published, their contents cannot be altered nor removed. The contributors are naturally welcome to treat their topics in new articles. Unfortunately, MIRATOR cannot pay any remunerations for the published contributions.

MIRATOR is a scholarly Open Access journal published (since 2007) by Glossa - The Finnish Society for Medieval Studies, a member of the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies. In the past, the journal, under its previous editor in chief, docent Marko Lamberg, PhD, was edited at the University of Jyväskylä, Department of History and Ethnography, and received financial support from the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Jyväskylä and the Emil Aaltonen Foundation. MIRATOR´s conference activities have been supported by the Cultural Foundation for Finland and Sweden as well as Letterstedtska föreningen.
